China’s premier DRAM maker CXMT, ChangXin Memory Technologies, allegedly built its entire chip making R&D on stolen proprietary tech from Samsung, one of the biggest DRAM makers in the w…
Cool scheme the US got there. If only they hadn’t destroyed most of the soft power they had created for over half a century, we might have played along.
USA is not an ally anymore, so not much need to sacrifice our own economy just to please them.
They won’t come to our aid if we need it, we can see that already with Ukraine.
Thanks that is true, I have read the article now, but it doesn’t make the story more trustworthy at all IMO.
It still reeks very badly.
How would he know that that was the plan from the beginning and how much it helped CXMT?
This reeks of an effort to block Chinese chips.
First we won’t sell chips to China, and now they probably try to prevent us from buying chips from China.
This sounds so staged. Also remember South Korea had a bit of a stock market crisis in part because RAM stock dropped.
The leaked process recipe allowed CXMT to shave off decades from its manufacturing process
This is 100% a lie.
CXMT managed to mass produce DDR4 memory on a 22nm node in 2019
SMIC introduced 14nm that year, with 22nm being their old process, so it sounds more like CXMT got their process from SMIC.
if ITC rules that CXMT relied on misappropriated trade secrets. ITC could issue a blanket ban blocking those products from entering the U.S market.
Just as I suspected even before having read the article.
And Samsung stole it from TSMC, and TSMC got theirs early on from Intel.

It’s a guy who supposedly took a bribe to transfer secrets to CXMT, not a CXMT engineer
